# Clone the Repository and Install Dependencies

## Step 1 - Clone the Repository

To begin setting up **Startup Starter Kits (SSK)**, you need to clone the repository for either **SSK-Core** or **SSK-Pro**.

{% hint style="info" %}
To get started with SSK, you'll need to have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) version 18 or higher installed on your development machine.
{% endhint %}

### Cloning SSK

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="SSK-Core" %}

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Three-Tech-Consulting/SSK-Core.git
cd SSK-Core
npm install
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="SSK-Pro" %}

```bash
git clone https://github.com/Three-Tech-Consulting/SSK-Pro.git
cd SSK-Pro
npm install
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

Once dependencies are installed, you’re ready to start the next step.
